I've never seen a Indian in any modern media speak like that. As you say must be like Pirate-speak. <br /><br />I don't know of which film you speak with a roundhouse kicking Indian but if you remember, let me know, sounds like something I'd enjoy!varalys the darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032083859598898676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-52868616282335544412017-09-11T19:08:58.920+01:002017-09-11T19:08:58.920+01:00I for one would be grateful if you did cover the n...I for one would be grateful if you did cover the notes a bit. I like all that 'directors commentary' stuff.<br /><br />I suppose it would have been a bit cheesy. I watched the Sin City sequel (again) last night and there's that story where the protagonist is the big bad's illegitimate son. It is done well there, but I guess it's a bit obvious. Like that bit in Dr Who where Martha asks if the master is the Dr's brother or something and he says she just watches too much telly (the irony of course being that was the intention back in the day). But that 'everyone is connected' has ruined a lot of stuff so perhaps best avoided.<br /><br />Been thinking a bit about Indian clichés as a result of this. Now I'm wondering where all that "heap big" and 'um' thing comes from. It's probably just one random source that spread. Like how the pirate accent is just down to a single performance by an actor who did long John silver with a West Country accent.<br /><br />And now I'm trying to remember what that film is where there's the Indian guy who just roundhouse kicks his way to justice. I've got a real hankering to watch something like that this week.Alan Robertshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14509360521332746130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-68056653318204081962017-09-10T16:51:17.404+01:002017-09-10T16:51:17.404+01:00I think Red Crow is definitely teased as Dash fath...I think Red Crow is definitely teased as Dash father but I am glad they avoided that cliche.<br /><br />There are some notes at the end of volume 10 which I might expand upon if my write up of the final book doesn't get too epic in length.varalys the darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032083859598898676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-15348288548740894402017-09-10T15:30:57.190+01:002017-09-10T15:30:57.190+01:00I suppose it would have been a bit of a cliché, al...I suppose it would have been a bit of a cliché, although it's fun to think of the implications of each possibility. I wonder if that was a deliberate tease on the part of the writer?<br /><br />I've noticed that the stress of living an undercover life has cropped up in quite a few of the stories you've blogged. Subconscious selection bias? Or is it a common theme generally? Secret identities being a staple of superhero comics.<br /><br />It does seem well researched. Are there any 'liner notes' or anything like that explaining how the project came about or what his inspiration was?<br /><br />I still like Wilde Knight though; she kills Nazis.

I do sort of sympathise with Dash, I know what it's like to have a parent drive you to despair and cause you nothing but pain. He just got mad, I spent four years in therapy lol. And I had my mum there too so I was better off than Dash was.<br /><br />I think this series went down pretty well with Indians. It's obvious from the use of language and ritual that Jason Aaron must have had collaborators helping him get as accurate as picture as possible.<br /><br />Dash just doesn't deal well with stressful situations and as the series goes on we'll see his feelings towards hims mum are more complex than they seem now.varalys the darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032083859598898676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-45219004660402583362017-09-10T00:55:49.117+01:002017-09-10T00:55:49.117+01:00Yey, finally got to read the post.
This is my fav...Yey, finally got to read the post.<br /><br />This is my favourite one yet. I don't know if that's because of the actual stories or because I'm now more familiar with the characters. But it seemed the most flowing and understandable narrative so far.<br /><br />Poor Gina. I feel so sorry for her in how she really tried with Dash as a kid. I do find him a bit of a git for his ingratitude. And maybe a hypocrite in rejecting what she was doing but doing the same thing with shelton. It would be ok if he'd not understood at the time and now realised, but there's no apology or acknowledgment.<br /><br />Do we know who Dash's dad is btw? I'm assuming it's going to be one of the three?<br /><br />I liked that Falls Down got helped by the sweat lodge ceremony. Of all the characters he seems to be the most comfortable with his Indian identity. So it's nice that it was ultimately a part of his culture that came to the rescue.<br /><br />I'm now trying to work out if this came before that bit in the Sopranos where Tony tries to work with the Indian casino guy. He was one of those one shot but memorable characters that show was good at. Especially when he did all the stoic Indian stuff when Paulie tried to wind him up about Cody Iron Eyes being a fake. Them as soon as they leave he turns to his daughter.<br /><br />"Fuck, is that true?"<br /><br />Its good that the series takes the same approach and doesn't shy away from the fact marginalised people can be a dodgy as anyone. I wonder what actual Indians think of the series though?Alan Robertshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14509360521332746130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-91791975289491446832017-09-09T01:37:28.226+01:002017-09-09T01:37:28.226+01:00She was definitely the best thing about the Suicid...She was definitely the best thing about the Suicide Squad movie which I watched again with my mum and she singled out the actress playing her for praise. I imagine we're going to get a Harley movie that'll be similar to Deadpool.. I've written up a few volumes covering her hijinks on this blog and she is definitely a lot of fun.<br /><br />My mum said she finds the Joker a bit tedious, because he's just a one note psychopath. I think he works as a dark reflection of Batman but take him away from that milieu and he flounders a bit although I realise you do need him if you are going to tell of Harley's origins.varalys the darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032083859598898676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-44361662583929438232017-09-09T00:47:13.133+01:002017-09-09T00:47:13.133+01:00Sorry to hear you've not been well Malitia. Ho...Sorry to hear you've not been well Malitia. Hope you feel better soon. I like your blog. There's like an auto translation option when I view it so I'll be able to check it out at least to some extent. In the interim I like the pictures.<br /><br />Got stuck at work today, and in for the morning tomorrow so haven't caught up with reading the latest. But it'll be nice to chill when I get back.<br /><br />Glad you liked the Harley. It is a cool look. And I like her attitude. She seems a much more positive role model for girls (in her independent copping off with Ivy mode) than the Joker is for boys. Weird how he's like an icon for certain types of edgy memelords. Even as a comic character he seems a bit pathetic. I guess that might be because I've met quite a few sociopaths in professional life, and they're just not that interesting. I do like fiery zeal, but only when it's focused on something positive. Not that just see the world burn nihilism. It's so narcissistic. Oh and was thinking about you the other night watching the return of the one armed swordsman. Because of the swords, not because you have one arm. Not that there's anything wrong with that. There is quite a cool lady baddie in that. Thousand Arm King, because she seems to have an infinite amount of knives. Unlike modern girls clothes, those traditional Chinese robes must have a lot of pockets.Alan Robertshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14509360521332746130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-57282785460316360322017-09-08T18:54:45.903+01:002017-09-08T18:54:45.903+01:00Sorry you haven't been well Malitia.

Deliriously happy wouldn't even come close, so just letting the client know and I'm flavour of the month, then literally whilst I'm speaking to him another email arrives with a new nightmare matter for him. I think I'm going to get a sample of the Eastenders ending music for when that happens. Whoever is writing my life, can we have a lower decks episode or something so I can just chill for a bit. Was working til 11 last night again,<br /><br />Ah well, I'm not a conscript.<br /><br />Wow, your (sorta) BIL has a pretty good set up eh? These fake geek guys.
